    Date: Apr 07 2022
    Summary

    I got to know about Whiteboard recently and have been using it at work for brainstorming sessions. It is a really great addon if you already have Microsoft 365 accounts. Although it still needs more features to compete with more fleshed out whiteboard solutions.

    Surprisingly limited

    Date: Nov 10 2020
    Summary

    I still use it a lot - due to it's integration with MS Teams - but every time I do I get frustrated all over again.

    Positive

    It has a clean and simple UI (probably due to limited functionality) that does the basics reasonably well.

    Negative

    Kind of expected most of the graphics/shapes functionality that you get in MS PowerPoint, but no, this looks like a 'minimum viable product' that really hasn't come close to being ready for launch.
